Ok, we’ve had to make a few changes to the geography books in time for next week.

Greenland is no longer Danish and will now be known as ‘Greenstate’ and fly the stars and bars flag. Similarly the vast nation previously known as ‘Canada’ is to be ‘Canadianna’ and will be the offical 51st state of the Union. And then Panama will become ‘Really New Mexico’. Unless it ends up in a war with the Panaminians or the Chinese, in which case it will be known as ‘Vietnam 2’.

Other nations and sovereign states also on Trump’s ‘window shopping’ list currently are: Brasil, Ethiopia, Spain, New Zealand and Wales. He doesn’t want Ireland at any cost.

But I think its perfectly reasonable to just simply ‘demand’ that any country should just give itself up if Donald J. Trump decides he wants it. For America. Make America Greater. He wants Greenland because it’s near Russia. Well, fairly near. He wants Canada because no-one currently in Canada is fit to run it, and its so close that it might change from ‘almost American’ to the ‘American’, that most of the world thinks it is anyway.

And Panama. Specifically: the Canal. This was built by the Americans, who then let the Panamanians run it ceding total control over in 1999. But Trump reckons it’s his. And is now a security risk because ‘it’s run by the Chinese’. And he, obviously, hates the Chinese. In fact one of the ports is run by a Hong Kong company who, as part of the Canal logistics, will have access to information of all the shipping passing through. And send it all back to Beijing, like Alexa does.

And, being Trump, like a spoiled child pointing out all the new toys he WANTS, he is absolutely serious about all of this. And is not prepared to ‘rule out armed force’.

More importantly, Spurs won a football match last night. They beat Liverpool. Of all teams. In my mind, that makes Spurs top of the league. Well, they beat the top team, they should go top. Right? Even though it wasn’t a league match. Not the point. That’s the way it should work in a ‘fair world’. But in other versions of this fictional ‘fair world’, Lucas Bergvall, our goal scorer, would have been sent off just prior to hitting the winning goal.

Naaah. Don’t like that fair world, we’ll have to keep this one. Because in that other one world you’ll be in a situation of wishing for VAR intervention, rather than cursing it, as you’re supposed to. Cursing its absence is a step too far. And if you’re not happy with that goal, I don’t care.

Very happy Thursday
